Abstract
The postoperative concentration of TNF-β was lower (P<0.05) and those of hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-8, IL-18 and IL-10 higher (P<0.05) than the respective preoperative concentrations. We observed that the preoperative levels of EPA and AA in plasma PL and RBC membrane lipids were associated with changes in the concentration of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators, suggesting a complex role in the postoperative inflammatory process.
